Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, said in a statement announcing the hearing that he looks forward to hearing from witnesses and “discussing possible reforms to section 230 so online platforms are a free and open marketplace for ideas.”
